6. Awesome!
I want to meet someone. :(

Has anyone seen libodem lately? She's from around these parts.


By the way...my son, age four, just came in here and saw this picture. He said, "That's the same one you have!" when he saw the bumper sticker.

He also knows that it says Democratic Underground.com - and I didn't tell him that.

16. No...I'm in Idaho.
I'm a native third-generation Minnesotan, but I was transplanted to the Boise area five years ago.

I get back every summer, usually for two to four weeks, to spend time with my family and my husband's family.

19. I've never been to a MN meetup, and yet I also live in St. Paul
They always are scheduled for when I work. I'll try to maintain the belief that this is coincidence... x(

22. And I usually either have family commitments or I am sick!
So I have never been to a MN DU meetup, except the mini one today.



















I am usually much better in very small groups anyway.

I'm sure he will in time. He's an owner-operator. Got more headaches than I'm willing to handle.

42. Hat and boots. Me, too. But I only have two hats and two pair of boots.
One "for good" and one for work, each.

40. "Everything you buy was brought by a truck."
I remember that phrase (probably from the 1960s), but don't remember the source.

Keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down, LT.

39. two beautiful friendly faces!
Kitchen Witch - you look so great in your hat - I love those hats & boots, too! And, liberal trucker, I was thinking about you today! I was cruising down I-70 (near St. Louis) and while passing plenty of trucks I was wondering who you drove for. I was visualizing this semi w/peace signs painted all over it and "Liberal Trucker" in big letters on the side! I then came to my exit, turned off the cruise, and had to come back to reality. Thanks for the cool daydream! Safe trucking, buddy. And thanks for the great photo.
